4 Background

There are two new bands: 3.4-3.6 GHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz decided for Broadband Wireless Access, which are already

widely available for licensing in Europe. These bands have earlier been allocated to the Fixed Service on a primary

basis in Region 1. Furthermore, the 3.4-3.6 GHz band was allocated to the mobile service on a primary basis and

identified for IMT at WRC 07.

These bands constitute a substantial amount of spectrum that will be available in many countries in the short term. In

Europe (Region 1) both bands can be used so block sizes could be large for any duplex arrangement.

The ECC Decision (07)02 [7] not only designates the band 3.4-3.8 GHz for BWA deployment, it provides condition for

„flexible usage modes within authorised BWA deployments‟. This regulatory provision will allow licence holders to

deploy various types of terminal stations, from fixed to mobile.

4.1 Task description

The purpose of this work item is to:

- Study of UMTS/LTE 3500 for a potential deployment in Europe as well as in other regions. The current band

plans, where they exist, shall be studied with respect to feasibility for WCDMA as well as LTE and band

arrangement shall be proposed for all applicable regions.

Generate a new technical report based on study results.

- The specific bands to be studied are:

- 3.4-3.6 GHz

- 3.6-3.8 GHz

- Generate CR‟s to update the appropriate documents. All CRs will be delivered as one complete package for

UMTS and LTE.

- TSG RAN WG2 - study signalling issues related to UMTS/LTE 3500.

- The WI should introduce the UMTS/LTE 3500 in the specifications for UTRA/E-UTRA.

- Any additional related issues.

3GPP

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 9 Release 10

5 Frequency band arrangements

The description of band arrangements in this clause is based on the input in [4], [5] and [6], which is also summarized

in [3].

In Europe, a majority of countries already license the band 3.4-3.6 GHz for Fixed Wireless Access, in some countries

also for mobile use. Licensing of 3.6-3.8 GHz for Wireless Access is more limited. CEPT/ECC has generated

documentation including a spectrum decision for 3.4-3.8 GHz with “Flexible usage modes” for deployment of fixed,

nomadic and mobile networks. A European commission decision for harmonised conditions was made in May 2008

[21], making the band 3.4-3.6 GHz available from 2008 and the band 3.6-3.8 GHz from 2012. Frequency arrangements

considered in the ECC decision include FDD use with 100 MHz block offset between paired blocks and/or TDD use as

shown in Annex A. It shall be noted that ECC PT1 is working on channeling arrangements in the band 3400- 3800 MHz

for IMT and plan to finalize a draft deliverable in January 2011.

In Japan, not only 3.4-3.6GHz but also 3.6-4.2GHz will be available to terrestrial mobile service such as IMT to use

after 2010. No discussion has started yet on the detailed frequency arrangements.

In Latin America, the band 3.4-3.6 GHz was licensed in Mexico and Peru to operators that have acquired paired

frequency blocks with 100 MHz separation. Both FDD and TDD operation is allowed. The situation is similar in

Argentina, but blocks have been paired with both 50 and 100 MHz separation, see also Annex C.

5.1 Band status in Europe

The source of this information is the contributions in [4] and [13].

5.1.1 CEPT/ECC studies and decisions

The band 3.4-3.8 GHz was studied extensively by CEPT Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) in the last few

years, resulting in several reports, recommendations and decision [7,8,9,10]. The studies clearly identify the band 3400-

3600 MHz as the widest available choice for current and future BWA deployment in Europe. The band 3600-3800 MHz

is identified as a possible additional or alternative frequency band. An ERO survey indicated that a clear majority of

European countries already use the 3400-3600 MHz band for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), while the use of the 3600-

3800 MHz band for wireless access systems was limited to a few European countries at the time of the survey (2006).

In some countries the bands are licensed also for mobile use.

The ECC Decision (07)02 [7] designates the bands 3.4-3.6 and 3.6-3.8 GHz for BWA deployment. The designation

gives considerations for “Flexible usage modes”, allowing a license holder to deploy various types of terminal stations

for Fixed, Nomadic or Mobile Wireless Access (FWA, NWA or MWA). Technical conditions for implementation of

flexible usage mode are given in ECC Recommendation (04)05 [8]. For Mobile Wireless Access, additional

requirements limit the radiated power, the TPC range and the block edge emissions.

WRC-07 identified the 3400 - 3600 MHz band for IMT in 41 European countries and 40 others in Region 1. Therefore,

the ECC has tasked ECC Project Team 1 (PT1) to develop appropriate ECC Deliverables which define band plans for

the usage of this band in the CEPT countries. The deliverables should also address the band 3600 - 3800 MHz.

According to the guidance given by the ECC, an optimised solution has to be found for the band 3400 - 3800 MHz,

which would facilitate the convergence between cellular and broadband wireless access systems already planned for the

band 3400 - 3800 MHz in some European countries.

5.1.2 European harmonised conditions for 3.4-3.8 GHz

CEPT/ECC has produced a report [10] to the European commission on BWA, concluding that the deployment of fixed,

nomadic and mobile networks is technically feasible within the frequency band 3.4-3.8 GHz. Another CEPT/ECC

report to the commission on the technical conditions for different frequency bands in the context of WAPECS1 also

addresses 3.4-3.8 GHz [9].

1 WAPECS = Wireless Access Policy for Electronic Communications Services

3GPP

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 10 Release 10

It is expected that early in 2008, there will be a European commission decision to harmonise the conditions for the

3.4-3.8 GHz band, where member states shall allow the use of the band for fixed, nomadic and mobile electronic

communication services. The decision will include technical conditions to ensure co-existence, but also allowing for

less stringent conditions to be applied if agreed between operators.

The band 3.4-3.6 GHz will be made available from 2008 and the band 3.6-3.8 GHz from 2012.

5.1.3 Frequency arrangements

The ECC decision [7] considers that within the two frequency bands, pairing of sub-bands 3400-3500/3500-3600 MHz

and 3600-3700/3700-3800 provide suitable frame conditions for FDD and TDD systems or their combination.

Two examples of frequency arrangements in line with those considerations are given in the ECC Recommendation [8].

The example arrangements contain paired blocks or combinations of paired and unpaired blocks, with a 100 MHz offset

between the paired low and high blocks. No specific consideration has been made for the necessary duplex gap. The

ECC example arrangements are shown in Figure 5.1.3-1 and 5.1.3-2 below and are also discussed in [11].

Figure 5.1.3-2 Example scheme with paired and unpaired blocks in the 3.4-3.6 and 3.6-3.8 GHz bands (from [8])

In the subclauses below, several regional band plans for the band 3400 to 3600 MHz in Europe are presented, which

were collected from the various available documents published by European administrations.

5.1.4 Band plan in UK

In the UK the 3400 to 3600 MHz band plan pretty much follows ECC REC (04)05 [8]. Spectrum is typically assigned

in blocks of 20 MHz. Most of the spectrum is assigned for PMSE ENG/OB applications. In this band also two blocks

with a duplex distance of 100 MHz are assigned to broadband wireless applications.

Figure 5.1.4-1: UK band plan for 3400 to 3600 MHz (source: [14])

5.1.5 Band plan in Germany

In Germany the 3400 to 3600 MHz band was auctioned in December 2006 for broadband wireless access (BWA)

systems. Figure 5.1.5-1 shows the band plan, which was used for the auction. The band plan is based on a 7 MHz raster

with altogether 8 blocks. Two blocks with a duplex distance of 100 MHz are grouped to one package:

- Package A: 3410-3431 & 3510-3531 MHz

- Package B: 3431-3452 & 3531-3552 MHz

- Package C: 3452-3473 & 3552-3573 MHz

3GPP

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 12 Release 10

- Package D: 3473-3494 & 3573-3594 MHz

3400 MHz 3500 MHz 3600 MHz

3410 3494 3510 3594

A B A B C D C D

Figure 5.1.5-1: Band plan Germany (source: [15])

From the band plan it can be seen that no external guard band between the blocks is provided. The assignment of blocks

is assumed under the provision of ECC REC(04)05 [8], which defines an internal guard of half the system channel

bandwidth at the block edge. At the 3400 MHz boarder the first block starts at 3410 MHz with a guard band of 10 MHz

to protect services below 3400 MHz.

5.1.6 Band plan in France

Also France is following in principle a similar approach like Germany. For BWA three packets with two blocks each of

15 MHz in the 3.5 GHz band are defined. Figure 5.1.6-1 shows the arrangement for BWA blocks.

The 3 packages (2x 15 MHz) have a duplex distance of 100 MHz with the following arrangement:

- Package A: 3432.5-3447.7 & 3532.5-3547.7 MHz

- Package B: 3465-3480 & 3565-3580 MHz

- Package C: 3480-3495 & 3580-3595 MHz

5.1.7 Band plan in Austria

As a further example of a European band plan, the band plan from Austria is shown in Figure 5.1.7-1. In Austria two

possible band plan arrangements are available depending on the region. Like other countries (e.g. Germany or France)

the 3.5 GHz licenses are divided in different geographical regions, however typically using the same band plan

arrangement. Austria is divided in six regions with the option that in each region either arrangement A, B and C or the

3GPP

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 13 Release 10

blocks D and E can be used. At the moment the arrangement D and E is only used in one small rural region. In all the

other regions the block arrangement A, B and C is used.

Between the blocks an external guard band of 7 MHz is established and the first block starts at 3410 MHz with a 10

MHz guard band to protect applications below 3400 MHz. All blocks are based on a 7 MHz raster and two blocks are

5.1.8 Summary of band arrangement in Europe

At the recent ECC PT1 meeting, a report was put together based on an “ERO questionnaire on the use of 3400-

3600 MHz and 3600 - 3800 MHz bands” [19]. It is based on the replies from 32 European countries, including the four

countries presently documented in the present document. The detail of information reported differs from country to

country, but for at least sixteen countries there is detailed information of existing band arrangements, channelization

and duplex in the band 3400-3600 MHz. That information is summarized below in Table 5.1.8-1 and also illustrated in

Figure 5.1.8-1.

United Kingdom 3480 3500 3580 3600 FDD, TDD 100 MHz 20

Several observations can be made when analyzing the survey results summarized above:

- Blocks with FDD arrangements are possible in all listed countries and TDD arrangements in all but two.

- For FDD arrangements, the duplex separation is consistently 100 MHz.

- Block sizes are large, in general ≥14 MHz.

- While there are some variations in the frequency ranges, only one country has frequency blocks below 3410

MHz. For many countries, the frequency range 3400-3410 MHz is designated as a “guard band”.

- Most countries have frequency ranges ending at 3494 (and 3594) MHz, while a few have the whole range up to

3600 MHz designated.

Several countries reference give reference to ERC Recommendation 14-03E Annex B [20], where harmonised 100

MHz arrangements for these bands are given. The arrangements in [20] are for channel spacing of 1.75, 3.5, 7 and 14

MHz, but can easily be extended to multiples of those numbers, such as 21, 28, 35 and 42 MHz. The recommendation

[20] also gives channel raster for the arrangements. For any channel spacing ≥7 MHz, the edge of the uppermost

channel will be at 3494 MHz. This is also reflected in the frequency ranges for the arrangements in these countries in

Table 5.8.1-1.

The conclusion from the ERO survey is that an FDD arrangement where 3410-3500 MHz is paired with 3510-

3600 MHz covers a substantial part of the existing band arrangements in Europe.

5.1.9 Additional frequency arrangements in the 3.4-3.6/3.6-3.8 GHz band

The recently approved EC Decision 2008/411/EC for the identification of the band 3.4-3.8 GHz for BWA applications

[7] supports the introduction of Mobility in the band 3.4-3.6 GHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz. This introduction should be made

according to some technical constraints reported in Annex to the Decision; these constraints were identified by CEPT

after careful study of the consequences of the extension to Mobility of the usages in this band.

It should be noted that technical conditions in the Annex of the EC Decision have been defined on the basis of full

neutrality with no hypothesis of TDD of FDD usage of any block; as a consequence the technical conditions at edge

blocks are very stringent. In case neighbour operators both use FDD or synchronized TDD networks, these technical

conditions could be considerably relaxed.

Because of this technology neutrality, a plurality of allocation scenarios can be met. These scenarios include:

● Operation of TDD and FDD in adjacent frequency allocations

● Operation of different or same RAT in adjacent spectrum blocks allocations

There are numerous cases where a part of the spectrum will be occupied by another RAT, before LTE is deployed. It is

important to offer dual operation, or smooth migration to LTE perspectives.

The 3 following generic scenarios are described and commented in this contribution. Note that these scenarios are compatible with the ECC recommendation (04)05

GB refers to guard bands which may be necessary between TDD and FDD blocks, and possibly between TDD blocks

when they are not synchronized, and frames properly configured.

RB refers to Restricted Blocks. RB can be allowed provided that the risk of adjacent channel interference is not

increased.

Comments on scenarios:

Scenario A1: FDD and TDD operation in adjacent blocks

As a consequence of their support to neutrality, CEPT and EC allow the implementation of TDD solutions in

paired blocks.

Scenario A2: FDD and TDD operation in adjacent blocks (variant)

As a further improvement for the implementation of TDD, two TDD Operators assigned with adjacent paired

blocks are allowed to swap their spectrum to create larger unpaired blocks.

Scenario A3: TDD only operation in adjacent blocks

Note that guard bands may or may not be required depending on frame and switching points alignments. Figure

5.1.9.3 assumes that Operator A operator B are synchronized, while operators B and C are not synchronized.

In Japan, not only 3.4-3.6GHz but also 3.6-4.2GHz will be available to terrestrial mobile service such as IMT to use

after 2010. No discussion has started yet on the frequency arrangement (i.e. the band or part(s) of the band should be

TDD, FDD uplink or FDD downlink) in the band.

In addition, 4.4-4.9 GHz will also be available to terrestrial mobile service such as IMT to use after 2010.

5.3 Band status in Latin America

The source of this information is the contribution in [6].

Several countries in Latin America (Region 2) have auctioned spectrum in the 3.4-3.6 GHz band. Many of these bands

are currently being used for broadband wireless services. This paper gives some background information on the

allocation of spectrum in the 3.4-3.6 GHz band in three countries in Latin America: Mexico, Peru and Argentina.

5.3.1 Mexico and Peru

In Mexico and Peru, the spectrum from 3.4-3.6 GHz was divided into 8 blocks of 25 MHz each. The blocks were

auctioned off individually, but acquired in pairs by operators. The result was 4 paired bands with 100 MHz offset

between the low and high band. Operation in both FDD and TDD mode is permitted in each of these bands.

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 18 Release 10

5.3.2 Argentina

Argentina also auctioned spectrum between 3.4 and 3.6 GHz. The blocks in Argentina were also auctioned off

individually, and acquired in paired by the operators. Some of the blocks, as paired by the licensees, have 100 MHz of

separation and some have 50 MHz of separation. Operation in both FDD and TDD mode are permitted in these bands.

5.4 Band status in North America

The source of this information is the contribution in [13].

5.4.1 US status

In the US in the 3.5 GHz band only 50 MHz of spectrum from 3650 to 3700 MHz are available for terrestrial mobile

applications. The band 3500 to 3650 MHz is used by the federal government for high power radars and above 3.7 GHz

the band is used for broadcasting.

For the available 50 MHz the following FCC rules apply [18]:

- Nationwide non-exclusive licensees for entire 50 MHz

- Registration required for individual fixed stations operating under nationwide license

- 10 year license

- Equipment employing unrestricted contention-based protocol (i.e. one capable of avoiding co-frequency

interference with devices using all other types of contention-based protocols) may operate throughout the entire

50 MHz.

- Equipment incorporating a restricted contention-based protocol (i.e. one that does not qualify as unrestricted)

may only operate in the lower 25 MHz.

- Governed under Part 90 of the FCC‟s rules [18].

5.4.2 Canada

Figure 5.4.2-1 shows the Canadian band plan for the band 3400 MHz to 3650 MHz. Spectrum is assigned in blocks of

25 MHz continuously. The band is limited to fixed wireless access systems and in 3400 to 3450 MHz grandfathered

operations are deployed. Canada considers extending the band plan to include FCC 3650 to 3700 MHz to harmonize

with the US.

5.5 Conclusion on frequency band arrangements

5.5.1 Summary of regional band plans

The frequency band arrangements were studied and reported above for the following regions:

● Europe: The harmonised conditions determined by ECC and in the EU decision for BWA use in the bands are

summarized in subclause 5.1. In addition, the local band plans applied in UK, Germany, France and Austria for

the band 3.4-3.6 GHz is documented.

● Japan: The present use of the band 3.4-4.2 GHz is reported in subclause 5.2. The band will be made available

for terrestrial mobile services such as IMT, but there is currently no band plan.

● Latin America: The situation in Mexico, Peru and Argentina is documented in subclause 5.3. Many of the

bands are used for BWA services.

● North America: The situation in US and Canada is documented in subclause 5.4. While Canada has band plans

for FWA in 150 MHz of spectrum, only 50 MHz is available for terrestrial mobile services in the US.

Some observations can be made of the studies above. Looking first at Europe, it can be noted that all countries studied

except UK have paired band plans in use today that are aligned with the ECC decision [7] and the band plans given in

the ECC recommendation [8]. The ECC plan is based on pairing of the bands 3.4-3.6 GHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz as shown in

Figure 5.5-1, with use of the spectrum for either FDD or TDD. For FDD, the uplink-downlink duplex frequency

separation is 100 MHz. There is no given duplex band gap for the FDD arrangement in this proposal. There is a need to

find solution for this further during the work by e.g. half-duplex operation or flexible arrangements on national basis.

For Latin America, it can be noted that the plans for Mexico and Peru are very similar to the European allocations. They

have a 100 MHz uplink-downlink separation and fit within the plan in Figure 5.5-1. Some blocks in Argentina also have

100 MHz uplink-downlink spacing, while others have 50 MHz.

The North American plans differ from the European and Latin American, especially for the US. Still, there is a

possibility in Canada for 2x50 MHz of paired spectrum or up to 150 MHz of unpaired spectrum, all aligned with the

plan in Figure 5.5-1.

3GPP TR 37.801 V0.10.0 (2011-01) 20 Release 10

5.5.2 Band plan working assumption

The studies performed above shows that the band plan in Figure 5.5.1-1 has good support throughout Europe and also in

some other parts of the world where a band plan compatible with the arrangement in Figure 5.1.3-1 and/or Figure 5.1.3-

2 is assumed. The plan calls for the bands to be paired with 100 MHz uplink-downlink duplex frequency separation of

100 MHz. Alternatively, any of the bands can be used as unpaired.

A framework frequency arrangement based on the studies would then be as follows (see also Figure 5.5-1):

3.4-3-6 GHz band:

● FDD Uplink 3400-3500 MHz

● FDD Downlink 3500-3600 MHz

● or TDD Unpaired 3400-3600 MHz

3.6-3-8 GHz band:

● FDD Uplink 3600-3700 MHz

● FDD Downlink 3700-3800 MHz

● or TDD Unpaired 3600-3800 MHz

Continued studies of deployment aspects and specific RF and signaling requirements would use this framework

frequency arrangement above as a working assumption.

The framework frequency arrangement as described above is to be applied for the UMTS/LTE 3500 work.

5.5.3 Baseline frequency arrangements in 3400-3600 MHz

The conclusion from the ERO survey documented in subclause 5.1.8 is that an FDD arrangement where 3410-

3500 MHz is paired with 3510-3600 MHz covers a substantial part of the existing band arrangements in Europe. This is

taken as the baseline FDD pairing to use for further work on the band 3400-3600 MHz, as shown in Figure 5.5.3-1.

From an implementation point of view, it will be difficult to implement a complete 2x90 MHz arrangement with a

single duplexer in a UE. A more reasonable single duplexer band arrangement may be on the order of 2x70 MHz, but

such an arrangement would cover a much smaller portion of the existing band arrangements (see Figure 5.1.8-1).

NOTE: The performance impact and implementation considerations and of a 2x90 MHz duplex arrangement will

need further study.

A TDD arrangement should be studied for the whole frequency range 3400-3600 MHz.

6 Deployment aspects

6.1 Deployment based on European scenarios

6.1.1 Possible interference scenarios from ERC/REC(04)05

The band arrangement presented in clause 5.5 is mainly based on European conditions, as expressed in a recent EU

decision [21] and ECC/REC(04)05[3]. The ECC recommendation considers both paired arrangements for FDD and

unpaired for TDD. Potentially, an implementation of the recommendation in [3] may be mix of FDD/TDD and/or

unsynchronized TDD.

Band plans that mix FDD and TDD within one or both bands shall be avoided to prevent difficult interference scenarios

and inefficient spectrum use, for the following reasons:

- Mix of FDD and TDD in the same geographical area gives adjacent up and downlink transmissions, which may

result in unreasonable terminal requirements to avoid mobile-to-mobile interference.

- The mix of FDD and TDD in the same geographical area results in spectrum inefficiency due to the need for

large guard bands. Especially, when considering large bandwidths of 20 MHz and above for LTE-Advanced, it is

important to avoid spectrum fragmentation and not waste spectrum for large guard bands

- LTE needs large channel bandwidths and use of multiple antennas to achieve the high data throughput

requirements for IMT systems. Mixing TDD/FDD is a major technical challenge for mobile terminal equipment

requiring multiple duplexers for each antenna.

- For LTE Advanced carrier aggregation, 3GPP is currently not studying a mixture of FDD and TDD operation.

The aim must be to avoid multiple interference scenarios in band plans, in order not to create difficulties in deriving a

common equipment standard. If such an interference scenario were to occur in a country where UMTS/LTE 3500 MHz

is to be deployed, the primary solution should be deployment and site solutions tailored to that specific situation.

6.1.2 Assumptions for deriving requirements

Based on the conclusions in subclause 6.1.2, the following taken as a working assumption for deriving RF requirements

for deployment based on European scenarios:

- Any deployment is based on ECC/REC(04)05 [8], but local variations and additional restrictions may exist that

vary between countries and regions.

- It is assumed that FDD and TDD are not deployed in the same frequency range, i.e. 3400-3600 MHz and 3600-

3800 MHz respectively are either deployed with TDD only or FDD only.

- For TDD deployment in a band, it is assumed that systems are synchronized.

- Other services in the band, mix of FDD/TDD and/or unsynchronized TDD will not be reflected through specific

RF requirements.

Based on these assumptions, there will be no new interference scenarios specific to the bands 3400-3600 MHz and

3600-3800 MHz, making it possible to re-use RF requirements from other bands.

7 Study of UTRA requirements

7.1 General aspects

7.1.1 UTRA Channel raster and numbering

It was shown in Table 5.1.8-1 that the frequency allocations in 3.4-3.6 GHz throughout Europe are made in blocks of

from 2x11 up to 2x42 MHz. Block sizes are generally large, so there does not seem to be a need to have any UARFCN

in addition to the default 200 kHz raster.

For the band 3400-3600 MHz, a 2x90 MHz FDD duplex arrangement was concluded in Subclause 5.5.3 and illustrated

in Figure 5.5.3-1:

- FDD Uplink 3410-3500 MHz

- FDD Downlink 3510-3600 MHz

This band allocation is for UTRA referred to as Band [XXII].

UARFCN can be defined as in Table 7.1.1-1, by reserving a part of the unused numbers that follow the Band XX

allocation.

In order to cover spurious emissions up to the 5th

harmonic, as recommended in ITU-R SM.329 [1], s2.5 table 1 [22],

the upper frequency limit for “Transmitter spurious emissions” and “Receiver spurious emissions” in TS 25.101, TS

25,104 and TS 25.141 needs to be extended from 12.75 GHz to 19 GHz for Band [42] and Band [43]

8 Study of E-UTRA requirements

8.1 General aspects

8.1.1 E-UTRA Channel raster and numbering

It was shown in Table 5.1.8-1 that the frequency allocations in 3.4-3.6 GHz throughout Europe are made in blocks of

from 2x11 up to 2x42 MHz. E-UTRA is based on channel bandwidths from 1.4 to 20 MHz and a 100 kHz raster that

supports carrier deployment anywhere within those block sizes.

For the band 3400-3600 MHz, a 2x90 MHz FDD duplex arrangement was concluded in Subclause 5.5.3 and illustrated

in Figure 5.5.3-1:

- FDD Uplink 3410-3500 MHz

- FDD Downlink 3510-3600 MHz

This band allocation is for E-UTRA referred to as Band [22].

E-UARFCN can be defined as in Table 8.1.1-1, by reserving a part of the unused numbers that follow the band [21]

allocation.

It was concluded in Subclause 5.5.3 that TDD can be deployed in 3400-3600 MHz. Using the complete frequency range

available in 3400-3600 MHz would cover all possible arrangements. As indicated in subclause 5.5.2, the band 3600-

3800 MHz can also be used for unpaired arrangement, in line with ECC recommendation (04)05 [8].

Two unpaired arrangements for TDD are therefore defined for E-UTRA TDD:

- 3400-3600 MHz

- 3600-3800 MHz

The band allocations are for E-UTRA referred to as Band [42] and [43] respectively.

E-UARFCN can be defined as in Table 8.1.1-2, by reserving a part of the unused numbers that follow the band 41

allocation.

NOTE 2: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements

above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD or E-UTRA TDD with E-UTRA FDD on adjacent frequencies for 30dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss.
